So here’s how the scam works. They give you a great quote and ask for a deposit. That initial deposit isn’t even one and it actually a fee. That does not get applied to your cost to ship the vehicles. They will take that fee and run with your money and never follow up again. Unless you call the 1-800 and bug them to get your cars shipped. Once they decide to actually pick them up, they brokerage it out to another scam company and over charge you from the initial estimate. Ours was $1000 dollars more and say that’s the drivers fee. Which is inaccurate. That new fee has a large percentage going to the second brokerage. And they make you place another deposit before they take your cars, this deposit is actually just the fee going directly to the second brokerage. So the first fees paid are the cost to work with them and the second company. The fee you owe at delivery is what the driver actually gets paid. So they make sure you pay that fee to the driver cause that’s what they owe the driver. That way if you get mad at them and cancel that payment the driver is the one who gets hurt. The driver and you are the only real people in this process. They take the deposit and ignore you. Until it’s time for the payment, They will bully you and threaten you to pay the higher amount cause that’s their money. Luckily our driver saved us and knew what was going on. So do not ever use them. Do not answer any callls you don’t know. I am not even sure if any of the people that run this business live in the US cause they will call you from all different area codes, harass you, threaten to take your possessions, and blow you and the delivery address up. They didnt even have our address when picking it up- that was our first red flag. They want you to pay direct bank account deposit by using a Zelle phone number. Which is not how it works at all, run away now and cancel you cards if you paid them already. The bank knew exactly who this company is. As you can see they will use your card number for additional Fees after the fact. The authorities will be notified. Plus all companies we used were brand new and had addresses linked to doctors offices!! I found since found -atleast 10 company names they operate under. I just hope no one else gets scammed by them!

This company has poor communication skills and contracts slow drivers. I recently had my car shippracross country. I had to call safemile to get a notified of any updates my vehicle pickup and delivery. The day before delivery I call to confirm my car is will be picked up on time only to find out it will be delayed because driver was late. The same thing happened the following day and the same day before delivery.

When I complained to safemile about the inconvenience of having my pickup delayed the dispatch said they could reassign my driver but it would cost me more money.

Every time I spoke directly to the driver he told me conflicting information. Examples: I’m down the street from you…I’m 20 minutes away …I’ll see you at 10(45 minutes later).

If I have to ship my car again, I would go with a different company.

i bought 2 cars at the Mecum car auction in Arizona on 3-8-24 . reliable transport had a booth set up to offer their delivery services for auction participants. I hired reliable to deliver both cars to South Carolina a cost of $5500 paid up front. As of today 3-22-24. i have no idea when my cars will go on a truck. Reliable did validate that they have my cars in their storage facility today but still do not have a scheduled pick up or load date that they could share. apparently i have to wait til more cars are scheduled to come to SC before they will load a truck. If you want your cars quickly or you want a reasonable schedule/plan. Reliable may not be your best option. First class pricing with no service or communication to support the pricing. They did say that i could line up other transport if i needed them faster or wanted a guaranteed schedule, however i would owe them for storage and security on my cars while they have been at their location. What a great feeling that gives me. I will give updates on this thread regularly to tell how this story unfolds, i realize all businesses have problems, but what a good business does when it has identified a problem , separates them from a bad business. WE WILL SEE… hopefully the Reliable business manager LAUREN A. will make a comment one way or the other while we are in real time. or she may wait til they finally get delivered then offer a response.
